Reviews

I spent a long time looking for a plugin that would give me a floating social media share bar, and THIS is the one with the most flexibility I've seen. Excellent! The filters to decide where the floating bar appears are GENIUS and exactly what I needed. Great plugin. Could not recommend it more highly. Thank you! You get all the stars.
